Addiction to golf comes second only to that of booze, no wonder “golf widows” were creatures who once received our deepest sympathies.
Now, of course, the term “golf poor” is quickly becoming a universal truth as well. And that’s only because golf and its accessories can really empty out an addict’s wallet.
But the wise and the wiser can whisper a couple of secrets on how you can stop golf accessories from pinching your wallet. In fact, those in-the-know will inform you how this is one hobby that helps reap rich dividends for them.
First, every loves freebies especially if you happen to dish out your golf tips for free. You might be loved, but you’ll remain poor.
Instead, if you play your cards right you can advice golfers alright. However, when the time is right, ask them to allow you borrow some expensive accessories.
You will soon realize that no one will deny a golf guru their just dues. In the process, you can use (not own or possess) high-end golf accessories for free. Take this a step further and offer to give informal tuitions for a small fee.
Think of other ways in which you can allow your golf accessories to earn a small income for you. Can you rent them to other golf instructors so they can be used for training rookies
Not only will this bring in some pocket money, you can actually use the additional money to buy your own set of fancy golf accessories.

A golf cart is as precious to a serious golfer as a car or a cell phone or any other gadget is to other men. Initially, when people buy a golf cart, it’s usually pretty basic, without too many frills and features.
However, they keep upgrading it and adding customizations and individualizing it so that it becomes more a personal style statement than a mere golf accessory.
People fortunate enough to own their personal golf cart usually begin by upgrading the seats. Not only can you make the seats plush and comfortable by embellishing them with high density foam, you can top it off with faux or genuine leather upholstery.
Style the wheel rims, the bumper, and even the steering wheel. Flashy golf carts sport a “theme” or a “look”. You might see dark varnished wood all over the cart or even a shiny chrome finish that sparkles when it catches the sun rays.
Work out a theme according to your budget and your personal preferences. But beware of going overboard, you don?t want screech your style statement, do you
Don’t know where to begin Inquire at your local car repair shops if they might be willing to work on your golf cart body. A low-cost quickie to get you started can consist of a ready-made body kit or a simple paint job.
Check out online sites and research on Google for more ideas. If you feel like splurging, hire a pro who can add a professional touch to your style statement.

Here is a quick check-list of the ?It? golf accessories that are must-haves. See if you have them in your golf cart, and if you don?t, put them right on top of your shopping list for golf accessories.
For rookies who keep losing their balls or golfers who cannot keep track of the balls they have hit, this is a god-send. People buy different types and brands of glasses that can keep the golf ball outlined against the grass.
These glasses remove light emitting from non-ball objects so that the only visible object in your line of vision is the errant ball.
Putting greens that throw balls your way and provide inputs on your strokes are must-haves with serious golfers. You may have thought that tees have become as sophisticated as possible but a new version is out these days.
This tee comes with a top surface that is made from a brush-like material. This prevents the tee from being ripped out or damaged because your club merely brushes past it instead of impacting it hard.
And the hi-tech golfers all use the scorekeeper which looks a bit like the GameBoy but it keeps score and does all the mathematical calculations for them.
And how about a golf wristwatch which displays your handicap And ever thought about re-using your golf balls by cleaning them professionally with a golf ball cleanser
Is your head already spinning and your mouth drooling Well, keep drooling because there are probably more sophisticated golf accessories hitting the market even as you read this article?
